If you have a yearning to invent your own unique operation, don’t buy a franchise. Can you tolerate risk? Sometimes the most obvious questions get overlooked. But starting your own business entails risk. So the question becomes do you believe in yourself. Do you think you have the ability to run a profitable business, like the others in that franchise company? This one has to be a yes. Do you like managing employees or do you prefer to work alone? Franchises come in all forms, and you can find one where you primarily work alone or one in which you will have to manage employees.
